Greetings from the Editor
Hehey INTO!! 💚
Easter holiday is coming up this week and I’m vary much looking forward to having a little break from all studies. My holiday break is also going to start with me washing my clothes with my vary own washing machine 😎 (vary exited for that, I’ve never had my own washing machine)!!
I hope you can also take a little breather before all the wappu shenanigans start! Scroll down to see what there is still happening around INTO and TAU during Easter (and maybe during wappu time 👀)!
Remember to also check out Trey calendar to keep up with INTO’s open events as well as INTO’s own Events Calendar 😉 💚

VIP Baseball is Here!!
It’s time to spend a sporty spring day playing Finnish baseball! ⚾️🤩
The Finnish baseball tournament for students, VIP Baseball, is held at Kaupin pesäpallokenttä (not Kauppi sports park) on Monday 27.4. Team spots are limited, so be quick to register your team! Entry fee for the tournament is 65 euros per team.
The tournament is played in two leagues: Amateur and Pro. The Amateur league welcomes all students wanting to spend a great day doing the Finnish national sport, no matter your baseball background (or lack thereof). Players in the Pro league* should have some experience with the sport, either playing or actively watching, but no professional skills are required.
Team registration is open NOW and closes on Sunday 5.4., so be quick! You can register your team by buying a team ticket on kide.app, to which the link is at the end of this email. Only one person from the team will buy the ticket. The registration has to contain the following information: name of the team, the Telegram username and the email address of the contact person, and additionally the name of your student association/guild/club, if your team is representing one. Please note that the registration is binding! ⚡️
The maximum number of players per game is 9 for each team, but players can be substituted between games, so a team may have more than 9 members. In each game, there will be one or two rounds of batting depending on time. All rounds are played without counting outs to assure everyone gets to hit at least once! The organizers will provide bats, gloves, and balls. The best teams will be rewarded with amazing prizes! 💜
In addition to the tournament, the event offers snacks from the grill as well as the option to participate in the Teemu tour!
You can follow the action and check out important information on Instagram @vippesis!

WHAT: University students’ baseball tournament
WHERE: Kauppi (Vesitornin kenttä, Kaupinkatu 5 & Yläkenttä, Kuntokatu 2)
WHEN: Monday 27.4. from 9:30–17:30
WHY: Because there is no better way to enjoy Wappu than by playing Finnish baseball!
*The Pro league will only be played if at least 4 teams sign up. Otherwise all teams will play in the Amateur league.

PSST! Are you struggling to find a whole team to play with? Would you be more interested in being a referee?
VIP Baseball is looking for referees! You don’t need previous experience in Finnish baseball or being a referee – we are organizing a small training session (date & time TBA). The referee gets the gorgeous VIP Baseball overall patch and some free snacks from the grill 😋So what are you waiting for? Come join us in making an amazing student tournament possible!
SIGN UP HERE TO BECOME A REFEREE! 📢
